    Until you find one, you can always use a pvc fitting like I did... just add a couple pressure fittings and some silly cone and you are cool... like me.

      I can make you one in a jiffy. Got the stuff. You would need to buy a pair of Brass water inlets from Steve since I don;t keep any on hand.

      It's late, gotta go to bed. I was going to make a few tomorrow maybe.

      I do it for enjoyment, all by hand.

                    Pictures aren't the best.

                    It doesn't take a week, I'm just a slow poke.... OOOh, you mean shipping, silly me... 1/2 asleep...

                    Not that much fun to do but, I like it. After I'm done a couple more, I'll make some couplers.

                    Not been very energetic lately...

                      Yeah pics just don't show the polishing well. Couplers? Can you make 6mm to .187 flex??

                        Yes, they are the simplest for me. What kind of OD do you need? Does the motor mount have a large hole in it for coupler ??

                          This is 6mm to .250" the .187" is just as simple for me.

                          This is about .750" in diameter but, I had to step it down to .500" since I have a water cooled motor mount that is 1/4" thick...

                          The most labour for me is the nine set screw holes, just a bit of a pain in the arse but, they work well so far...

                            The mounts are just CF sheets that can be drilled. I'm able to get a 5mm to .078 coupler through it. I have a couple of T600's I may want to try in the Top Gun. Have you had any issues with the set screws? Now with the 1717's and x452/3's I've had to really torque down on the couplers to get them to not spin.

                              Hey Ray what do you charge for one of those nice looking couplers?
                              5mm to .150.
